This review covers:
What the series is about
Who will love it (and who won’t)
A book-by-book breakdown
Why Kimberly Lemming is in her own joyful lane
And why this should be your next binge-read
💫 If You're New Here…
If you’ve been around my corner of the internet for more than two minutes, you already know I love a book that can change me. Books that stretch my emotions, crack open my heart, and show me something about the world or myself. Books that make you sit quietly afterward and whisper:
“Wow… okay, so that was everything and more.”
But sometimes?
That’s just team too much.
Because every reading session doesn’t need grief arcs, ancestral trauma, historic weight, or life lessons wrapped in heartbreak.
Sometimes you just want something unserious, funny, and joyful. A story that feels like a warm hug and a belly laugh at the same time. A book that lets you escape for a few hours without having to emotionally recover afterward.
So… let’s talk about Kimberly Lemming and her chaotic, hilarious, spicy masterpiece:
🍯 The Mead Mishaps Series
This series is the definition of unserious, in the best possible way. It’s a much-needed escape from reality. A reminder that reading can be fun, silly, spicy, and unhinged in all the right ways.
A series that will have your nose in the book, giggling, and smiling ear to ear on every single page.
And honestly? Kimberly Lemming is in her own lane. She built an entire world of dragons, demons, werewolves, and clueless humans, and absolutely no one is doing it like her.
In a reading world filled with devastating love stories, dense fantasy war plots, and historical heartbreak (all of which I love), she said:
“Here’s some joy. Y’all deserve it.”
And we do.
What Is The Mead Mishaps Series About?
At its core, The Mead Mishaps is a fantasy romance world where humans coexist, sometimes peacefully, sometimes chaotically, with magical beings:
🐉 dragons
😈 demons
🐺 werewolves
🔮 witches
🗡️ talking swords (yes, you read right)
All living under the long shadow of a manipulative goddess whose lies have shaped their history.
Once those lies are exposed and the demons break free of magical control, chaos ensues and that chaos brings us romance, adventure, found family, girl power, and ridiculous levels of spice.
Each book centers on:
❤️ a human woman
💀 a monster man
🔥 chaos + chemistry
💘 and eventually love
Every book gives:
✔ Laugh-out-loud humor
✔ Warm, lovable side characters
✔ Unhinged but delightful worldbuilding
✔ Spice that could preheat an oven
✔ Women saving themselves
✔ Monsters who respect them
✔ Cozy found-family tropes
Avoid this if you only want:
❌ dark gritty fantasy
❌ no-spice romance
❌ complex political plots
❌ emotionally heavy reads
And before you ask—Yes, you need to read them in order.

📚 Book One:

Cin is just trying to enjoy her drink when she unintentionally sets off a revolution. One thing leads to another, and suddenly she’s freeing Fallon, a full-grown dragon, from magical mind control.
Now they’re on a mission to liberate monsterkind, expose a goddess’s lies, dodge danger, fall in love, and indulge in all kinds of dragon-related spiciness.
This book gives:
fun
fast-paced adventure
spicy tension
warm, comforting vibes
A perfect intro to the chaos of this series.
📚 Book Two:
That Time I Got Drunk and
Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf
Brie + Felix (The Feral Loverboy)
This title alone could win a comedy award.
Brie is in a bar trying to avoid a man who won’t leave her alone. She yeets a drink and accidentally hits Felix, a werewolf, with a love potion.
Now Felix is fully, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically in love with her. Ferally in love. He falls first, he falls hard, and he is determined to prove that his love is REAL, potion or not.
This one gives:
yearning
“he falls first” energy
big comedy
a man who communicates and loves OUT LOUD
Felix is absolutely that guy.
📚 Book Three:
That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human
Cherry + Dante (The Dragon Looking for Love)
Book three is my personal favorite.
We follow Dante the dragon, who has been nothing but loyal, gentle, and ready for love since Book One.
When he meets Cherry, he decides instantly: that’s my wife.
Cherry, who has trauma from a previous dragon captor, is like: sir, please calm down.
What unfolds is a slow-burn romance full of healing, trust-building, redemption, tenderness, humor, and soul-stirring chemistry.
Their dynamic?Chef’s kiss perfection.
💪 Underneath the Humor & Spice:
Girl Power
Yes, these women have monster men ready to burn villages at the slightest threat.
But when they’re separated from their partners, and it’s just them, danger, and their wits, every heroine steps up.
They’re not warriors.
They’re not carrying magic.
They’re not trained to fight.
But they have:
✨ intelligence
✨ resourcefulness
✨ courage
✨ charm
✨ determination
They learn to save themselves..and that’s the real magic.
🎉 Final Thoughts: Why You Need The Mead Mishaps in Your Life.
